Cold Call
They're not to everyone's taste, but have an inexplicably large following. If you haven't got your Coldplay tickets yet, we believe there is still time. Catch their NYE live show at the du Arena, Yas Island on Saturday. From Yellow to Up & Up, Coldplay have created hits for almost two decades. The band has sold more than 80 million copies of their seven albums in total. Their seventh, A Head Full of Dreams bursts with energy, colour and big, life-affirming moments such as the hit singles Adventure Of A Lifetime and the rocket-powered Hymn For The Weekend.
